A judge may decide this week whether to delay the trial of a Bloomington man accused of killing an Indiana University student.

The (Bloomington) Herald-Times reports Brown Circuit Judge Judith Stewart will meet Wednesday with lawyers on the case. Fifty-year-old Daniel Messel is charged with murder in the April 2015 beating death of 22-year-old student Hannah Wilson of Fishers. Her body was found about 10 miles northwest of IU's Bloomington campus.

Stewart has taken under advisement a request by defense attorney Dorie Maryan to postpone the scheduled June 1 start of Messel's trial. Maryan says she needs more time to take depositions, and new evidence from prosecutors requires more time for review and analysis.
